No notification of missed call or new SMS

I found out that I'm not always getting a notification of a missed call or a new SMS. If I don't have any service and somebody calls me, he/she gets my voicemail. Normally if you then get service again, you receive a message saying that you have a new voicemail.
I only get that message when I'm making a phone call or when I'm sending an SMS.
If somebody calls me when my phone is off, and I turn the phone back on, I immediately get a voicemail message. So if I switch to flight-mode and back, the problem does not occur.
A friend with an Orange M500 has the same problem.
To rule out my service provider, I tried my SIM in a Nokia 6230. Then the problem did not occur.
Does anybody experience this problem? Or even better, does anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks.

I think this may be a ROM problem, I seem to remember a similar problem when I had 1.11 installed. I wasn't getting the voicemail symbol appearing next to the START button when I had a voicemail waiting.
Vodafone send me an SMS so I knew from that. Since I have installed 1.12 I always see a little tap reader symbol (voicemail) at the top when I have a voicemail waiting.
Hope this helps,
M

Hi. Thanks for your response. I will try 1.12. But first I have to find it.
I have a QTek S100 and I can't find a ROM for that phone.
But I'll let you know the outcome as soon as I have upgraded.

There's a 1.12 I think in the FTP directory. I got mine from my supplier and its better than 1.11 apart from the GPRS problem which is being discussed in another topic here.
At the moment I am hard resetting my QTEK S100 with 1.12 installed and not installing the external ROMs. Hopefully this will work as one of the other guys on the forum has done this and has no GPRS problems.
Good luck

There are some versions (for example WWE_11200_120_11200) on the FTP server, but they say that I have a wrong country ID. And I don't like to use the complicated installation method (using MaUpgradeUt.exe).
Good luck with your installation.

1.12 fixed the problem. I friend uses 1.06 and he doesn't have this problem. So, 1.11 seems to be a but buggy
Thanks for your help.

"Phone Not Ready...." Can anyone help?

I have an O2 XDA mini s as its so called, and an Orange Sim (both UK)
Now I can make/receive calls fine, but when I try to send a message, or goto the "phone" option, I get the message below. Nor do any contacts from my sim show up.
"The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again"
Does anyone have some advice to resolve this as its pretty annoying!
I did try a search and got no results, so please forgive me if this is a topic that has been given the run around before.
Regards
Sam

Sounds like the simcard is dirty try taking it out and inserting again happens on probs every1 phone sometime.

Another option would be to go back to your cell provider and request they give you another SIM card

sounds like you might not be getting a strong enough signal to use the phone...or send out messages...consider flashing your radio rom to something higher (do a search for radio rom). radio rom flashing usually won't effect the os or ipl/spl...so you can keep all your existing settings. newer radios have more information on towers...so it has a chance to get a better signal...or at least that's what i've been told...
2.19.11 is common for cingular...but there's a post somewhere on changing something that will let you use higher radios with cingular without too many problems...personally, i'm messing around with 2.69.11 (t-mobile) and i haven't had any problems...

Tried cleaning the sim card to no avail.
As with regards to the radio rom, im sure thats the issue as i can make phone calls fine, so im getting a signal. It just seems accessing the sim card and texting is the issue
Its bugging me because its an awesome phone. Im wondering if its due to it being a different network branded phone to the sim card im using...

if that's the case, you may need to sim unlock your phone? but if you're making and receiving calls, you should be fine...
if the sim card is old, or the service provider was taken over...or something of that sort, maybe your sim card has a problem...something like this was a problem back in the US when cingular bought out at&t...the problem was resolved by consumers going to cingular to get a 64kb sim card rather than a traditional 32kb...perhaps something of that sort is happening there?

I suppose that is a possibility,
I will try using the unlocking tool, but im not sure it would be the sim as it is only 2 months old. I just didnt like the phone i got with the contract so bought this.
I will certainly try. I kinda wish i'd just bought the Orange version of the phone

@Ozington. If you can make calls, chances are your phone is already unlocked. Did you bought this phone 2nd-hand? The previous users may have done something to it. Soft reset your system and tell us all your stuff (especially the Radio/GSM displayed) displayed on the first boot screen.
Alternatively, if you want to avoid all O2 crap, hardreset your phone and during init setup, soft reset it (poke it) just after you have done your security settings. If it is not using official ROM (e.g. no O2 stuff around to be seen), make a guess on the ROM used, and you can also try upgrading an official ROM (safe to do so).

Hanmin,
The phone was bought from ebay, but was brand new sealed, all in o2 packaging, the seller stated it was unlocked. It was all factory packed and the seal wasnt broken..
The Device info is as follows:
Rom Version 2.21.4.1 WWE
Radio 02.07.10
Protocol 413.1.03
ExtROM 2.21.4.101
Does this mean anything?
Regards
Sam

I'm doubtful that it is factory sealed and unlocked. From the information you gave (although not those I've asked for), seems that your phone ROM is a bit, old. Go to O2 webpage and download an update for the ROM (I'm not sure, but I think they have an updated ROM).
To check your ROM version, tell me the battery icon on Today screen, is it on the top left or bottom left. Top left battery icon means it is AKU2, the updated version.

To throw a spanner in the works the battery icon is in the top right?
Thanks for your help. What info did i miss out? (Please bear in mind i have no idea what im doing with the more technical side of the phone!)
Regards
Sam

I briefly had this problem as well. In my case, I could also receive text messages, but still could not send. I changed OS's and it was fixed. The problem only seemed to happen with one of the new OS6 roms. It was intermittent, and even resetting the phone seemed to solve the problem occasionally and briefly. I have flashed my device too many times, but think it was the most recent Touchflo version that had the problem for me. I was using radio 2.69 Ipl/Spl 3.08. I hope this might help. Good luck.

Orange SIM & Unlocked T-Mobile MDA Vario
Hi Guys,
Just a quick note to say that I have a similar problem with my new Orange SIM.
All the GPRS works fine, calls send & receive OK, POP3 email works a treat but no text messaging and when I try Start > Settings > Personal > Phone .. I get "The phone is not ready. Wait 15 Seconds and try again"
I have no answers to this but from all the searching I have done over the past few days to try and find a cure this problem seems to be common to Orange SIM cards. All I can think of is that the Call Centre Message Number needs changing to get the txt messaging to work.
The phone has worked fine on other networks - no GPRS but text messaging & phone calls
Any advice gratefully received !!

Hi guys first poster so be nice
I've got the same problem but came from T-Mobile to Orange.
My IPL / SPL is 1.03 so I'm going to upload the newer versions on the fourm to my phone and see what happens tommrow. Havn't got the time at the moment but I'll post up how I get on.
Do you guys think this is a good approch to the problem I've got?

Hi Sasyboy
You posted just after me. I got my phone working great on Orange now. It has taken me 3 days !!
You'll have to be careful on how you do it. I just jumped in and it caused me a lot of work and time. and a long period where I thought it was bricked 'cos the bootloader screen stayed on and I lost all comms with the MDA
First make sure the CID is unlocked, you must read this:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
I wish I had. This may seem a long way of doing it, but you don't want an expensive paperweight do you ??
After you have unlocked the CID and updated everything as per the Dr P stickie (link above) and it is working, you then need to get the Wizard_Love ROM upgrade. I tried after doing all the Mr P instructions in the stickie but still kept getting the "Phone is not ready...." so I decided I then needed the Wizard_Love ROM upgrade. This took me ages to find, I tried to d/load it via uTorrent but only got 25% and then found it on a Russian website - anyway I have it now, and as I said you'll need it, PM me and I'll get it to you.
You will have to download several files and set half a day aside. If you are struggling PM me and I'll get the files to you as I have them now.
I just need to get the Ornge MMS settings right and then all is fine. GPRS, POP3 email, Internet, Txt messaging OK now, SIM manager works fine (didn't even have it before!) and can access all phone settings for call divert etc
Good luck. Any queries I may be able to help, but I'm no expert. I have spent hours looking at this forum and all the answers are there it is just getting them in the right order.

How do all,
Really happy I updated everything and now it all works fine. Thanks to the community. I love this phone and now with updates it's even cooler.

SMS Not working after unlocking

Hi there,
Ive had my mini s over a year now with O2 and decided to jump ship and change network due to customer service issues. I ordered my orange sim card and then unlocked my xda with lokiwiz.
Everything seemed fine once my orange sim was in until i noticed that i had not received any txt msg's. I tried to send a test sms to myself and i got this message: "The phone is not ready. Wait 15 seconds and try again." also i cannot access the sms settings menu or options menu when on the keypad screen.
I then decided to upgrade the rom to faria's thinking this could solve the problem but still the same.
Is this a radio rom problem occurring due to the different sim provider's and if so would upgrading the radio rom solve it?
thanks for looking!
even more thanks for your help!

Having problems with missed calls as well.
Tried to update with newer radio roms but get the error 300 invalid update tool.
any suggestions?

Hi there. There is no problems with the ROMs. I have got a XDA Mini S CID unlocked. Has been working fine with Orange Sim card for a year until I lost the Sim card in one of my tests, ordered a replacement one and from that point onwards, has been a nightmare. i can make and receive calls but cannot receive or send messages, a flash message comes up saying " your phone is not ready. Please wait 15 seconds and try again". I have been checking the forum and apparently is because the new sim cards are 3g and for it to work on the xdas it has to be a 2g technology. It´s weird, isn´t it? Check this out.

Still impossible to send sms

I just bought my htc HD2 and upgrader to official rom 1.62, i think, released from last january, then i had this bug for sending sms. i upgraded the radio, twice, 2 versions, no way,
used the official rom, then three roms of the best cookers her, thanks to them for all the work
But, no way to send the sms, i receive instead something from my operator telling that i'm using a bad adress, something like that.
I read all around the site, and this seems to affect just some users.
but from another side, someone with the same issue desactivated the sms function with shap's utility, and solved it.
i don't know what to do, please help, is this a hardware issue?

have you tried getting the settings resent from your network provider?

It's not the normal sms bug you have. You have a problem with the settings.
Contact your provider and ask for the sms settings.
Or visit the a shop that have this provider and the HD2 and ask for help.

Thanks for the replay.
When i started with the phone, with Orange france, i think i was able to send some messages. but then i updated to several roms to hope resolve the problem. i'm receiving areplay from the provider just after sending every sms saying 'your message can't be treated else you have no credit, or you use a destination non authorized!!!!"

i cheked the parameter for the server provider, it's ok. nothing wrong on this side. Really strange to buy a handset 550$ and to be without sms function, i regret really having sold the Iphone 3Gs, at least i could do the basic things.

As I wrote, it is NOT the sms bug that is making problems on your phone.
Because with the SMS bug, the SMS never left the phone.
If you get a message from the provider, then it is the provider making problems, not the phone.
So either the telephone nr is wrong, or the settings or some strange thing in the ROM when used with your provider.
I suggest you test with another SIM card. Borrow a SIM card from a friend to test. Test both with the same provider and a different provider just to find out. Also, if you post what provider you use, maybe someone here can help U with correct settings.
But I agree there have been to many bugs on this phone. I had much less problems with the Touch HD, but HD2 is so much faster that i prefer the HD2.

U should also contact your provider with this problem since they are making the problem.

You are right!
Here is what i did.
i have another sim card from another provider, i switched the two sim from the two phones, and when i use the new sim hd2 configure automatically the settings. then i send the message from the HD2 to other handset with the faulty sim-provider-config or whatever. the message is delivered in 2seconds! so definetely strange thing here.
I cheked the setting - number for sms server, it's ok. back with my principal sim on hd2, and again no way to send the sms. really strange!!!
thanks anyway for the good help. i appreciate

delay recieving sms

sometimes i get my sms late, although it says the exact time the sms was sent, i still recieve it 2 hours later,
when i send an outgoing message, all my sms's come flooding in.. is there a fix for this.. is anyone else experiencing the same prob ??
i am on rom 1.66, official htc

what full rom version you using?
what network you on?
country?
has this been happening long time or recently?

it has been happening recently it was more common before the sms fix, its not all sms's just sometimes,and sometimes i dont recieve the sms at all
i am in uk, on o2 network, using the htc 1.66 rom, the one off the htc website,
i am SO close to selling this and getting an iphone

Give O2 a ring, I had this issue with my Nokia E90, and it turned out to be a corrupt message on their servers.

thanks mate,

dont think its the network mate, gave them a call.. cud it be the htc, becos the sms problems over the past are well known !

its a network problem genrally

delayed sms sound
I have similar problem on htc iolite since the new coocket roo303oom. The message sound is delayed to when i unlock my screen.

Im having exactly the same problem. Im on o2 uk and its really starting to get on my tits.
I sometimes get them an hour or 2 after they are sent, yet they are date stamped with the time they were actually sent. Did you manage to get to the root of the problem? I called o2 weeks ago about it and they just suggested i try a new sim, which they promptly sent me but it has made absolutely no difference. Is this a phone problem or a network problem?

Both of you on O2, I doubt it's got something to do with the phone.

sort of same issue with my HTC HD2 on Voda UK.
MEssages being sent or recived are not arriving on my phone!!
thinking of getting rid of phone now!!

just to annoy you mine works fine on virgin in the uk

Mine works fine on T-Mobile too

SMS delay

this is a widespread problem with htc's , if u google , late sms, you wil find, people on all networks are having this problem
i have contacted them and they say it could be the phone

Hi everybody,
I'm still experiencing this problem. That happened after the last ROM upgrade (see attached screenshot for current versions).
The message arrived a couple of hours later. Not it's about 24 hours or I don't receive the messages at all.
This might be a coincidence, but I often was browsing with Opera when the messages finally showed up.
I'm using Zenyee disable htc messaging 1.2 as I'm syncing with an Exchange 2010.
It's definitely not the provider, but the phone. I've put my simcard in a standard cell phone where the messages arrived in an instant.
Anybody got an idea?

It not the network, its a file in HTC phones. I havent been able to figure out what was causing it until now. I am 90% sure I know the culprit, but I am not 100% sure. I am on a TP2 and I just ran across this problem today after I installed a cooked rom I made, before everything was fine. I am in the process of testing this theory out. I should have a better idea by either days end, or at latest by tomorrow. I am testing 3 packages out at the moment to see if my theory is correct.
Will keep you posted.

I have the same problem too or sometimes I only get the text if I unlock the phone then I get 3 texts at once also sending text if it has more then 160 but less than 180 (i think ) then ppl don't seem to get my text weird no lol

I've had this problem in my HTC Trinity...
Fortunately I don't have it in the Leo...
